Doug Rae has been a diaster for both animals and public safety. Warren Patitz was only on an advisory committee but tried to function as if he were on a governing committee.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-5135994156485176772009-09-24T20:32:31.043-05:002009-09-24T20:32:31.043-05:00I don&#39;t think when boards are supposed to be rubber stamps of the mayor or the council...whoever appoints those people. It sounds like Ballard&#39;s people were upset the chairman wouldn&#39;t be a rubberstamp and he got canned.Paul K.

If they want Rae fired, wouldn&#39;t they just ask Renner to do it?<br /><br />If Mayor Ballard were truly concerned about the stray dog issue, why wouldn&#39;t he boost the ACC budget a bit. Surely humane treatment of the animals has value to this community as well as catching strays. <br /><br />By the way, the article also mentions that dog bites were down and responses to calls reporting strays went up the first 6 months of this year over last. So, Rae is doing something right.jabberdoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773449819475280421noreply@blogger.com
